About

HotelWedding VenueConference CenterBusiness Meeting Locations
Step Into the Soul of 1960s Minneapolis at Hotel Indigo. Located in downtown Minneapolis, our newly reimagined hotel blends modern comfort with vintage charm. Set in the historic Northstar Center—opened in 1963 as the city’s first mixed-use development—our hotel was once the iconic Northstar Inn, a mid-century marvel that helped launch the Minneapolis skyway system. Our building, part of a visionary project that included the Cargill and Pillsbury buildings, was once called a “city within a city.” Just steps away, you’re near the birthplace of a beloved, doughy kitchen character who’s been making America smile since the 1960s—a nod to the city’s warm, whimsical legacy. Explore Nicollet Mall, Loring Park, and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Catch a show at the Orpheum, State, or Pantages Theatres, or head to iconic music venues like First Avenue and The Armory. Whether you're here for a conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center, a game at Target Field or U.S. Bank Stadium, or a nostalgic getaway, our location puts you at the center of it all. With easy access to the Metro Light Rail, you’re minutes from MSP Airport, the Mall of America, and the University of Minnesota.

    I stayed this month for the NSTA conference. The hotel was great. All of the staff that I interacted with, from checking in, eating at the hotel restaurant, asking questions at the front desk, to checking out at 4am, were extremely friendly, kind, pleasant, patient, and hospitable. The room was very clean and the floor was quiet. I thought it might get a little noisy on Friday and/or Saturday night but there weren't any issues at all. I'm a light sleeper, especially when away from home, and I slept great here. There weren't any disturbances and I opted to have a "greener" stay with housekeeping only coming in after I left. The hotel restaurant was clean and the food was amazing! Props to the chef on the beautiful presentation of the Avocado Toast at breakfast. There's an easy connection to the Skyway from the hotel. I had a great experience and have nothing but positive things to say about Hotel Indigo in Minneapolis.

    I stayed here for a weekend trip to see a couple concerts at The Armory. It was very conveniently located. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I was very impressed with my room, I loved having a vanity area outside the bathroom and the decor was super cute. The food and service at the restaurant was outstanding as well. I'll definitely stay here again in the future.
